Also question is, what does Jesus say about being teachable?
chooses” (Psalms 25:12). Listen, and learn from your past mistakes. Have a teachable spirit, and be that man or woman of God.
Similarly, why is it important to be teachable? Being teachable is admitting you don't know something—and allowing others to show or teach you. Humility demonstrates stronger character than ego and pride. Admitting you are learning doesn't detract from who you are or your leadership authority, it demonstrates to others it's safe to admit you don't know something.
Correspondingly, what does it mean to remain teachable?
It is the desire to listen, learn, and apply. It is the hunger to discover and grow. It is the willingness to learn, unlearn, and relearn. I love the way legendary basketball coach John Wooden states it: “It's what you learn after you know it all that counts.”
Is being teachable a skill?
The good news: “soft skills” – like communicating effectively, resolving conflicts, understanding and managing emotions and stepping in for a friend – are teachable skills. There are some great tools designed to give kids the foundation for good character.
